Reality is NRL clubs only go to country towns as they are paid to do so. Without being paid they are loss makers. Good luck basing your whole club on towns with shtty grounds, small crowds and no major corporates. Of all the Bears options this would be by far the dumbest. Well done Panthers CEO!
What’s to stop country towns to pay for games for a country bears team like afl get from Canberra

nothing, but if you're business model is reliant on 8-10 local councils stumping up $200-300k each every year forever then its pretty rocky! And thats before we get into much lower FC revenue from gates, membership and corporate box sales in these country towns, and then throw in the ltd capacity of NS oval and sht corporate facilities there.
But its a crack pipe dream of the Bears, and apparently CEO of Panthers so really not worth much time and energy debating.

Regional markets are huge

where did you get that 90 percent figure ? Sounds like your ususal bs

ABS Regional Population Data suggests that despite 36% of the country living outside metro markets, ONLY 10% of national media budgets are spent regionally.

you can apologise now.

This is just embarrassing.

Calls something bullshit
Original claim gets proven
Responds "you can't prove it, because I'm not reading your proof"
Yep this is really serious. I hope he reads it soon just so you can rest easy and stop feeling so embarrassed.
